Meta自研训练芯片要来了,集成RISC-V内核
半导体行业观察· 2025-03-12 01:17
由于该处理器专为 AI 训练而设计(这意味着要处理大量数据),因此预计该处理器将配备 HBM3 或 HBM3E 内存。考虑到我们正在处理定制处理器,Meta 定义了其支持的数据格式和指令,以优化 芯片尺寸、功耗和性能。至于性能,该加速器必须提供与 Nvidia 最新的 AI GPU(例如 H200、 B200 以及可能的下一代B300)相媲美的每瓦性能特性。 该芯片是 Meta 的 Meta 训练和推理加速器 (MTIA) 项目的最新成员。该项目曾面临各种挫折,包括 在类似阶段停止开发。 例如,在有限的部署测试中,Meta 内部推理处理器未能达到性能和功率目标,因此停产。这一失败 导致 Meta 在 2022 年改变了战略,大量订购 Nvidia GPU,以满足其即时的 AI 处理需求。 如果您希望可以时常见面,欢迎标星收藏哦~ 来源:内容 编译自tomshardware ,谢谢。 几年前,Meta 是首批为 AI 推理打造基于 RISC-V 的芯片的公司之一,旨在降低成本并减少对 Nvidia 的依赖。据路透社报道,该公司更进一步设计了(可能是在博通的帮助下)用于 AI 训练的 内部加速器。如果该芯片能够满 ...

川普:芯片法案浪费纳税人的钱

如果您希望可以时常见面,欢迎标星收藏哦~ 参考链接 来源:内容 来自中时新闻网 ,谢谢。 川普上任后想废除拜登政府推动的527亿美元《芯片法案》补助,他抱怨该项计划浪费纳税人的 钱,建议把资金转用在减轻美国债务压力,但美国财经媒体撰文指出,如果《芯片法案》补助被撤 销,美国芯片市占率恐缩减至8%。 总部位于华府的「半导体行业协会」2024年估计,美国预计在2032年,将其所有类型芯片的制造 能力都提高至2倍,在全球芯片市占率可望从10%升至14%,但如果没有《芯片法案》,美国的芯 片市占率可能会缩减至8%。 分析《芯片法案》对美国半导体业的影响,若从纳税人角度来看,该法案代表一笔很大的支出,但 对半导体产业来说,这笔支出并不算大,主因在于,1家半导体公司1年的开支就足以消耗掉相当 多的资金,像台积电今年的资本支出预计将达380~420亿美元。 《芯片法案》是美国最大产业政策法条之一,目前逾85%的拨款,是在川普就任前敲定,包括将补 贴台厂台积电66亿美元。 报导认为,《芯片法案》为制造业项目提供25%的税收减免,对大多数企业来说,是最大的激励措 施,这些政策将使在美国建厂变得像在亚洲一样具有成本效益。 至于川 ...
